Troop
31 has a great history.
We are the oldest Troop in the Tall
Pine Council, BSA. Troop 31 was founded in October of 1918 and has met in the
same building ever since that time. Troop 31 is
older than 99% of troops in the entire country! This means we have lots of
experience in providing an outstanding program.
Our program is outstanding!
Troop 31
always plans a year ahead. Because we have a troop where the Scouts plan the program we have a great
time. We have a special activity at least once a month. Usually we
go camping somewhere really cool. Check over our calendar to see where
we are going next. The second Monday is reserved for a special offsite
activity such as bowling, swimming, climbing, etc.

Our
meeting facility is top notch.
We meet in the gymnasium of
Court Street United Methodist Church. Along with this facility we have a
very large Scout Room and access to several other attached rooms. We also
have a 1,000 square foot outdoor storage facility our troop built in 2001-2002 to house all of
our camping equipment and troop trailer.
We have
year round programming.
Troop
31 has year round programming. This simply means
we don't take the summer off. We have troop meetings, weekend outings,
week long travel trips, summer camps, and more.
We
have great leaders.
Troop 31 has
lots of leaders at each
Monday night meeting. Several of our leaders grew
up in the Scouting program and are Eagle Scouts. Our leadership keeps
growing with the troop! We currently have several Eagles on our leadership
team. Our leaders come because they are excited about the Scouting
program. They want to be there!
Learn
skills that will help you in life.
Troop
